Security Envelopes
by A. Paige White
Security envelopes
one box of 40 whites
empty, awaiting
a broken arm that was, to bespeak the sprain
of calling for help
no sham pain, this to sip
my cue to answer
within a flight bare of all but minimums
the maximum value
'fore a dance in our inditer's refrain
I see a poem to "Mother"
three stanzas
I
love
you
three rugs covering the danger zone
for feet quickened to the call...
to measure a fall in the fall with wings
but most of all...
I note them small.06/10/2010 Author's Note: My writing timelines leap around afar and away ahead to...
always a day late...

| Posted by Glenn Currier on 06/12/10 at 04:39 AM I like the way you took up the challenge from Robert and placed me right there over your shoulders. Got the allusion to the pain and the sprain. Thanks for bringing your poetic camera into your space and sharing your shots. |
